Thanks to all who have written to the Vice-Chancellor at Exeter to
protest Gill's demotion. The appeal had been spread further via the
British Women Archaeologists listserv, the South Asian archaeology
listserv and the British Archaeological Jobs resource listserv.
There was also a short piece on this in the Society of Antiquaries of
London Online Newsletter (http://www.sal.org.uk/salon/#section15). This
contains a link to a page about Gill's Exmoor project on the Exeter
Archaeology web site - and if you go to the Exeter Archaeology home page
you will find in the upper right hand corner a link to a page about her
current project in India.
I have heard from a couple of people with contacts inside Exeter admin
that this campaign has caused both anger and embarrassment. I hope that
the pressure on them can be sustained.
